The Adams Nervine Asylum at Jamaica,
near Boston, was established by its
founder for the benefit of such INDECENT
debilitated nervous people, who are not
insane, inhabitants of the com monwealth
of Massachusetts. as may be in need of the
benefit of a curative institution" 1t has
saved many such nervous invalds from
years of terrible suffering, from insanity,
and from the grave. But the benefits are
limited to inhabitants of Massachusetts.
No Vermont invalid can share them. The
man or woman who will establish SINH
lar institution for our State would do
great work for the relief of human suffer
ing, and earn the lifelong gratitude of
many deserving objects of such charity
The editor of this paper has already on
his hands business and cares enough to
keep him out of mischief. But he cannot
refuse to receive any funds that may be
bestowed for the purpose indicated by DR..
Willard, if any giver wishes to have him
do so, and would take pains to see that
they were properly appropriated. 1t
would be well, however, if any consider
able amount should be contributed for
such purpose, that the givers should
select their treasurer for the same.
We may add that DR.. Willard can have
no selfish interest in the matter. He pro-
poses, as we understand, to give his time
and professional care to these deserving
charity patients, without charge, if others
will provide the means to meet their mod
crate actual expenses at his Rest Cure.

Opportunity for the Charitable.
BURLINGTON, Vt, March Is,

To the Editor of the Free Press:
Having of late received several appica-
tons for the Rest Treatment by persons
who are unable to meet the necessary eX
pense attending it, but who are evidently
in need of it and would undoubtedly re
ceive benefit from it and are every way
worthy of help, | am moved to write to
you and through you to appeal to char
liable public IN their behalf.
1t may not be generally known that the
Adams Nervine Asylum receives as pa
tients only inhabitants of Massachusetts.
Those for whom | here plead are so un-
fortunate as to be inhabitants of Vermont
and are consequently not entitled to that
charity
Perhaps some benevolent Vermonter
will some day remember the nervous suf-
ferers of Vermont in his will, as the foun-
der of the Adams Nervine Asylum did
those of Massachusetts In the mean
while can anything be done for the few
nervous sufferers whose appeals are SO
pressing ? Will you kindly consent to an
nounce that you will receive any money
that may be given for this purpose and CO
operate with me in securing its worthy
bestowal, Yours truly,
A. j. WILLARD.

SOPHOMORE EXHIBITION.
Orations by the Glass of $50 at the College
Street Church, Tuesday.

A driving storm and the most disagree
able and forbidding conditions in the air
and under foot, did not prevent the usual
large audience gathering in the College
street church, Tuesday afternoon, to
listen to the exercises of the annual Sophie
more exhibition. The class was repre-
sented on the programme by 10 speakers,
who appeared in alphabetical order.
President Buckham announced the speak
ers, having with him on the platform Rev.
f. p. Gould. Excellent music was fur
nished by the Howard Opera House or
chestra. The following was the order of
exercises

The orations all showed careful investi-
cation, clear thought and uniformly
good style of composition. Some of them
were unusually thoughtful and discrimi-
mating. Less attempt at oratory or ora
| torical display was made than usual,
which was rather of an improvement than
otherwise. Gestures, as rule, were few
and far between but the appearance Of
the young gentlemen for the most part
was graceful and their delivery excellent.
The speakers were all made the recipients
of handsome baskets or boquets of flowers.
Not one of the speakers had to be prompt
ed-which is something quite unusual
and the exhibition was in every respect
one which reflects credit upon the class OF
| 80 and their instructors.

Prospect of Poor Sugar Season in Yer
mont.

FORBES writes the Boston journal as
follows The production of maple sugar
in Vermont this year promises to be much
less the average yield of former seasons,
The State annually produces about II ,0O0,-
600 pounds, but the lateness of the season
and prevailing climatic conditions make
the PROJECT of a good sugar crop rather
poor. The great depth of snow everywhere
is likely to prove hindrance to sugar
making, while the fact that there is little
frost i'll the ground precludes great flow
of sap. In some places the sugar houses
will not be opened at all, while in other
sections farmers will not tap their full
complement of trees. The snow in the
woods in many sections is still from five
to seven feet deep. All accounts agree
that this has been the severest winter for
many years.

terday this decision was reversed, and The

Another interesting case was that of
David Anderson, the negro, who, in the
spring Of 1886 made a feloni0us assault

in the Circuit Court Of Henrico county.
but yesterday the Supreme Court reversed

ter, and asked Judge Redd 20 sit. He
did so, and granted the application for
revocation Of the permission, ON the
ground that the defendants had not had
notice as required by law.
The petitioners thereupon gave another
notice To defendants which is legal, and
IL is this case which Judge Redd is ex-
pected TO try today.
Hanover street, if opened, will make
available many building lots parallel with
the Allen property. Judge hedd will
pass to-day simply on the question of
opening this street as o county road

who shot and killed EnOch Spottswood
lcolored) during a game of crap on a
Sunday afternoon some time agO-full
particulars of which this paper published
at the time-came up for trial. The jury
heard the evidence and arguments Of
counsel They retired and after con-
sulting more than an hour, returned a
verdict giving Hall five years in the Pen
itentiary.
There were some on the jury who
wanted much heavier punishment and
some who wanted less, and the verdict
was a compromise.
No other case WAS tried.
